With Late Score, Black Aces Beat Warlocks
The Santa Ana Black Aces weathered a fine game by Waco catcher Octavio Roman to upend the Warlocks, 6-5, at Santa Ana Stadium. Roman went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times. The win went to Jim Unknown in relief, making him now 1-0. Roberto Mendoza took the loss for Waco. The Black Aces improved their record to 105-28 by beating Waco.

Had Aaron Nelson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Nelson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Black Aces.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Waco manager Mike Schwartz. "But we decided not to take it."
